A moving, heart wrenching and thought-provoking story. The main premise of the story is a young woman's decision to undergo an abortion after accidentally ending up pregnant. Being a naive young girl who is on the road to being a successful actor, she is scared of being judged harshly by society, her friends and most of all her family. It is indeed very sad that a woman bears the brunt of isolation and harsh criticism if she decides to end her pregnancy. The man, however, ends up unscathed without a sense of responsibility. Religious barriers and fear invoked by those who oppose abortion often harrass women and add to the trauma women endure. This book has the ability to make readers realize how emotionally shattering and difficult it is to be a woman who is pregnant and alone, with no support from closed friends. This is a must read for teenagers, women and men as well. This should be compulsory reading for students, teachers and parents. #bookstagram #bookaddict #bookaddiction #booklove #booklover #bookworm #booknerd #bookninja #bookdragon #booklioness #bookenchantress #bookenthusiast #bookbabe #bookdiva #booklady #bookboss #bookmama #bookwoman #bestreads2019 #girlsontheverge #sharonbiggswaller #youngadultbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw14HADn32b/?igshid=umn9rdpewhvh

Yes, but they’re all in Indiana because I’m an anxious lil nugget who can’t travel far! I’ll be at Bookmama’s in Irvington on the 30th of August, and I believe I’ll be at BFest at the Carmel Barnes & Noble on Sept. 23.

Oh how I love using doors as a versatile visual metaphor! 🚪🗝 There's a few in the latest batch of panels I just made for this personal comic I have simmering on the project stove. In this particular context the door represents motherhood. But don't worry, when one door closes...🔑✨ . . . #wip #coloredpencil #drawing #art #illustration #lauraleegulledge #comic #door #closeddoors #bookmama #lifechoices #possibilities #choices #greypapergirl https://www.instagram.com/p/B4vs7rJlDD3/?igshid=1nkvctox8cr51

This is a perfect read portraying a story with the right amount of mystery, romance and intrigue!!!! Drue Campbell is having a hard time. She has lost her job as a waitress and nothing sunny is on the horizon for her. Her mother who was her only companion has passed away after a long battle with illness. Her father, Brice Campbell, whom she hasn’t seen in over twenty years, shows up to the funeral trying to make amends with his only daughter. Brice has a prospering law practice and offers Drue a job at his firm so she can start over a new life. The only problem here is that Brice is married to Wendy, a frenemy of Drue from middle school. The job does not appeal to Drue, but she inherits a bungalow in Sunset Beach which was once owned by her beloved grandparents. A mysterious death occurs, which could be tied to corruption at Brice’s firm. Drue dons her detective hat and starts her own investigation wanting justice for the deceased's daughter. Her quest for justice leads her on a roller coaster ride in order to uncover the whole truth. In addition to that, she finds a file related to the disappearance of a young woman, Colleen in the past which could be possibly be traced to her family, A charming read! #bookstagram #bookaddict #bookaddiction #booklove #booklover #booknerd #bookninja #bookdragon #booklioness #bookworm #bookenchantress #bookenthusiast #booklady #bookboss #bookmama #bookwoman #bestreads2019 #sunsetbeach #marykayandrews @marykayandrews #mystery #intrigue (at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByHSphMg7Eb/?igshid=k3qpy78n6syf

PA BOOKWORMS; WIGGLING OUR WAY THROUGH INDY

I'm going to let you in on a little secret about Sunny and I...ready? Shhh, this is between you and I. Okay, here it goes...we LOVE to read. Whether it's comic books, newspapers, magazines, novels, you name it, we read it. 

With that being said, I'm sure it's no big surprise to hear that when we arrived in Indy one of the first phrases I typed into Google read: “Indianapolis book stores.” And sure enough, a few stores grabbed my attention. (I mean with a store name such as “Book Mama's” how could I not be intrigued) Although we haven't visited Book Mama's yet (Don't worry, it still has a spot on my Things to do Indy Style list) we did come across what I consider to be the most interesting book store I've seen in my 24 years. Wanna know what it's called?

Drum roll please....

  Behold! Indy Reads Books!

    This charming store is located right along the Indy Cultural Trail (something else that needs to be added to the list) and boys and girls, culture is something Indy Reads Books has.

The store not only sells new books at a discounted price, but also used books that are donated. If that's not enough to convince you how awesome this place is then let me inform you that it is also efficiently ran by a mix of staff and volunteers. Pretty neat-o, right?! 

Indy Reads Books gave me a hopeful outlook on what other little shops Indy has in store (HA) for us. Can't wait to see what we come across next (hopefully it's Book Mama's.) Until next time...

A wonderful, moving and captivating story of one young woman, Beth who despite the hardships and trials she endures, turns out triumphant and independent. This is a story of a woman's journey of self-discovery, love, and endurance amidst heartbreaks, death, and loss. #bookstagram #bookaddict #bookaddiction #booklove #booklover #booknerd #bookninja #bookdragon #bookenchantress #bookenthusiast #booklady #bookboss #bookmama #bookwoman #bookbabe #bookdiva #bestreads2019 #lesleypearse #gypsy #fiction (at Dar es Salaam, Tanzania) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxKhbINHXXj/?igshid=15wo19podirjp

For a while now I've been wanting to make a comic about choosing to make book babies rather than biological babies...and now I've finally worked up the nerve to develop it as a little 12 panel comic!😬🙈Here's a sneak peek look at the page showing me with my book babies as I see them in my head: Paige is 7, Will is 5, Dares is 1 and a half, and Mona arrives in April 2020.(@abramsbooks ) 📚💕The best thing about being in between books is that I don't have any excuses to NOT make the personal projects that I need to get off my chest...and the more vulnerable, the better. ✍️🤞 . . . #art #wip #sketch #cartoon #bluepencil #drawing #artisalive #sneakpeek #lauraleegulledge #choice #bookbabies #bookmama #vesselforlove #artbabies #artistlife #vulnerability #gettingpersonal https://www.instagram.com/p/B2U1pOhlAFP/?igshid=1aenta33csr5v
